1. If you find a "cheap" one, it's been stolen.
2. you can go on www.kijiji.ca and choose london and see if anyone is selling shih tzu's and if you find one, call the person ask if its negotiable. :)
3. Why don't you try a rescue: http://www.theshihtzuclub.co.uk/rescue.htm
4. Try looking into a rescue organization. They usually have adults and sometimes puppies for adoption and they do not ask high adoption fees.
5. Cheap dogs are a no no I have purchased 4 shih tzus I will be getting another in the next year or two. If you can not afford a quality shih tzu I recommend a reputable breeder they have quality puppies many do not charge much as a back yard breeder or mill. Some breeders will do payment plans. My breed mentor sells puppies the cheapest ones on a pet contract cost 1,000.00 show a 2,000.00-5,000.00 some more some are less. But she has many return clients if you just save money get a quality puppy you won't end up in tears with a sick puppy. Contact the local breed club and can give you some names of breeders in your area with puppies. Shih Tzus are prone to: Reverse Sneezing Patellar Luxation Stenotic Nares Cleft Palate Umbilical Hernia Bleeding Disorders Renal Cortical Hypoplasia Harderian Gland Prolapse (Cherry eye) Hypothyroidism General Respiratory Problems Intervertebral Disk Disease - Back Problem Some of these conditions are genetic so find a good breeder that dose health testing on the parents. http://www.gopetsamerica.com/shih-tzu/shih-tzu-health-problems.aspx http://www.theshihtzuclub.co.uk/breedstandard.htm http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/services/public/acbr/display.aspx?id=2843596 http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/services/public/acbr/Default.aspx?breed=Shih+Tzu
6. If you can only afford a cheap puppy, how are you going to afford microchipping, food, injections, insurance, toys, coats etc?
7. Cheap mean either badly breed which would probably cost you alot more in vet bills and heartache or a scan. You need to pay a fair price for a good quality puppy. Or you can reacue one . Have you try local dog rescue like battersea or you could adopt form a breed rescue. Most breeds have there own resuce clubs and if you go to the kennel club site they should have a list of breed rescues that could help. And if they are local to you still contact them as they usually know of others .
